COMBINED CLOTHES AND CLOTHES-PIN RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 8, 1908.

Application filed. May 11, 1908. Serial No. 432,030.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER HENRY CAR- PENTER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Lehr, in the county of McIntosh and State of North Dakota, have invented a new and Improved Combined Clothes and Clothes-Pin Receptacle, of which the followingris a full, clear, and exact description.

his invention relates to combined clothes and clothesin receptacles, and more par' ticularly suc as are adapted to be carried upon the person for use in hanging clothes upon orremovin them from a line.

The object of t is invention is to provide a sim le, inexpensive and serviceable receptacle for olding clothes and clothes-pins in se arate compartments, and which is adapte to be hung by means of suitable straps from the shoulders of the user.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in whlch the figure is a perspective view of the invention.

Before proceeding with a more detailed description of my invention, it should be understood that I provide a receptacle for use in clothes han which comprisesa receptacle for receiving the clothes as they are removed from the line, and a separate receptacle attached thereto for holdin clothes pins. Adjustable stra s are provide for supportin it from the s oulders of the user.

eferring more particularly to the drawings, I provide a receptacle A, comprising a pair of spaced wire frames 1 and 2 which are substantially rectangular in form, the lower one being preferably smaller in size than the upper one. Connecting members 3, located at the corners of the frame, serve to connect the latter together. The sides and bottom of the receptacle are formed by wire netting 4, of an suitable mesh.

The rame 1 has a curved extension 5 at one end thereof, which forms a'rim for su porting a further receptacle or be 6, fas ioned rom any suitab e fabric. e upper edge 7 of the bag 6 is suitably sewn to form a sleeve 8 for receiving the rim 5. Rigidly arranged on one of the sides of the frame 1 is a able (1 9. The latter has its ends 10, which are ad'acent to the frame 1, suitably bent upon t emselves to form eyes to receive the side of the latter. The up er corners of the shield are laterally exten ed and bent to form eyes 11. The shield is covered by wire netting 12 of any suitable mesh, the netting being an extension of the netting 4 of the basket proper.

Located on the sides of the frame 1, adj acent to the shield, are shoulder straps 13, having adjusting buckles 14 thereon. The n per ends 15 of the straps are secured to t e eyes 11 of the shield. The shield is rigid with the back of the frame 1, so that when the basket is attached to a erson, the shield serves as a sup ort to hol tially horizontal osition.

Although, as s own in the drawing, I pref-" erably employ heavy wire frames covered by wire netting, other material ma be used for the construction of the receptae e with equal advantage. Similarly, the bag can be fashioned from material other than fabric.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A device of the class described, comprising a receptacle having an extension -at one end thereof, said extension forming a rim, a further rece tacle independent of said first receptacle an suspended from said rim for recelving clothes-pins, and adjustable means for attaching said receptacles to the body of the user.

2. A device of the class described, comprising a receptacle for clothes, having an extension at one end thereof, a bag attached to said extension and adapted to receive clothes-pins, a shield mounted on one side of said receptacle, and means attached to said receptacle and to said shield for supporting the device.

3. A device of the class described, comrising spaced wire frames, connecting memers 'oining said frames, netting secured to said clothes, one of said frames aving an extenit in a substanrames and constituting a receptacle for sion formin a rim, a bag suspended from said rim an ada 'ted to receive clothes-pins,

a shield mounte upon one of said frames, and adjustable stra s, each having an end secured to one of said frames and an end secured to said shield.

In testimony whereof I have signed my-
